Even though I'm not a fan of Trump by any stretch of the imagination, I wish all this Russia stuff would go away. I would rather everyone simply evaluate Trump on his accomplishments, or lack thereof, while in office as POTUS.
Issues:
Trump once again, over the weekend, said Mexico would pay for "the wall". I'm all for that. I don't want my tax dollars going towards paying for the wall. It's not that I'm for illegal immigration, but rather how many times were we promised that Mexico would pay for the wall.
How you doing on health care Donald? The Republican plan is not looking too good. At least 10 Republican senators do not support the current version of the bill. But if Obamacare is not "repealed and replaced" it will be a major defeat for Trump. The ACA was far from perfect. The proposed new healthcare bill is worse in most people's opinions. A recent poll shows about 25% of the people in this country support the bill.
Taxes? No progress on new tax legislation.
Jobs? Some good news, some bad news.
The G20? I'm sure sides differ on how well Trump did at the meeting. And you thought protests in the U.S. were bad. Nothing compared to the protests in Hamburg.
Finally the clock is ticking on reviewing our vetting procedures of people wanting to emigrate to the U.S. Trump got his 9/12 week hold on immigrants/refugees and 10 days are already gone. It will be interesting to see what "holes" are found in the vetting processes. My guess is that some minor defect will be found and Trump will say he saved thousands of lives. Something HAS to be found to justify all the hoopla around the travel bans.

What Trump should do is negotiate an end to all these things in exchange for not making them pay for a wall. A wall should be negotiated away in exchange for ending the Metricula cards and all the other bullshit the Mexican government does to enable illegal immigration.
It's too early to see anything on employment. That's only something that will correct over years by actually bringing back tens of thousands of factories owned by American companies. This will require an overhaul of trade agreements with China and Mexico and others. If Trump fails to do this he is toast.
